Christine Gregoire

“I believe in the power of partnership. I believe that we can achieve more when we work together.”

“Education is the foundation upon which we build our future.”

“We have an obligation and a responsibility to be investing in our students and our schools. We must make sure that people who have the grades, the desire and the will, but not the money, can still get the best education possible.”

“Clean energy is not a partisan issue. It's an economic issue, it's a security issue, and it's a moral issue.”

“We can't build a strong economy on a weak foundation. We can't have a vibrant community with a crumbling infrastructure.”

“Public education is a public good. It is the cornerstone of our democracy.”

“I'm a big believer that you can try to change the world based on their fears and anxiety, or you can try to change the world based on their hopes and dreams.”
